50008 Thunderer (D408)
A Class 50 back in the Far West! In her distinctive Laira BR Blue Departmental livery, we see 50008 Thunderer hauling the Rail Grinder at Crediton and Rewe working as the 4Z03 0800 Okehampton - Chaddesden Siding on 13th January 2018. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIXoUyyApn0
Class 50 50008 Thunderer is seen in action on the Severn Valley Railway during May 2017. Climbing Eardington Bank with a matching rake of Intercity Mk 2s, it could so easily be the early 1990s with 50008 in her 'Laira' departmental BR Blue livery, certainly one of the most perfect diesel preservation recreations in recent years! It could easily be somewhere in the West Country 30 years ago! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bw4_tSPGPA
